There’s something about Macha

看了今天的報導，有點落井下石，不過這是他自作自受╯＿╰

球員說他愛抱怨。

Eric Chavez說︰「Every time he spoke to us, he’d say how much he appreciated the effort, but then you’d read things where he was always smashing people. … This negative cloud was just eating at everybody.」

球員說他悲觀。

Barry Zito說︰「We felt like we were on the front lines, and he might have been with us, but he didn’t have the same conviction or faith. I think it was a fear of failure. He was a little more focused on the pessimistic stuff than on success.」

球員說他溝通技巧差。

Macha said it was “puzzling” that Kotsay couldn’t play in a road game against Tampa Bay when the team had been off the day before. Two days earlier, Kotsay had described himself as having to use duct-tape simply to drag himself onto the field.
Mark Kotsay說︰「When I got injured, I felt disrespected」

球員說他沒跟球員站同一陣線。

Jason Kendall說︰「If there’s a bang-bang play at first, even if you’re out, if you’re arguing, you want someone there behind you. If you argue a pitch, even if you’re wrong, you want someone joining in. And I’m not sure Macha did that.」

球員說他不替子弟兵說話反而把責任往球員身上推。

Zito was among those who felt as if Macha had not done enough to back him sometimes, especially in his final start against Anaheim in 2004, when he left after seven innings and 115 pitches. The A’s lost the lead after Zito departed, and Macha told reporters afterward that Zito had taken himself out of the game.

球員說他牛棚只用少數幾個，那幾個天天上場用球數也沒控制，其他人坐著當啦啦隊領便當。

Danny Haren說︰「There were issues with the bullpen, guys being possibly overused, a lot of different issues.」

連跟他關係最好的Chavez都覺得他帶兵方法有問題。

“Deep down inside, I think he cared about the players, he just didn’t have a good way of communicating,” Chavez said. “He was always asking me about guys, he wanted to know if they were OK, but I was always the one he talked to in his office and I was probably the one who least needed to be in there.”

結論…

Macha是中華職棒最需要的型的總教練啊！請來當救世主吧！XD

PS︰接任人選上，我覺得Orel Herhsiser應該是不錯的選擇，Ron Washington也不錯。
